Jay Leno's Garage welcomes Pagani Huayra and Pagani himself

Proving yet again that there's simply nothing in the automotive world that comedian, late night talk show host and genuinely nice guy Jay Leno can't get his hands on is the video you'll see after the break.

This week, Jay welcomes Horatio Pagani into his garage, and the man who heads his own eponymous automaker brought along a brand spankin' new Huayra for show-and-tell. Perhaps best of all (since we obviously didn't get to drive it ourselves), we now know the proper way to say Huayra: Why-ra.

Pagani tells us that, while the Zonda was inspired by Le Mans racing cars, the Huayra draws its inspiration from the moment an aircraft leaves the tarmac and begins to take flight. We have to admit, from the way the doors open like the portal into an aircraft to the wing-like splitters at the rear and the airfoil-shaped side mirrors, we can see clear evidence of aeronautical design in the Huayra.

That said, it's impossible to truly appreciate how special this latest Pagani is until you gaze upon its exquisitely crafted interior. Leather, bare aluminum and carbon fiber surround the driver and passenger in what we think may be the most impressive single element of the Huayra's look and feel. Well, that and those amazing wheel hubs. Oh, and the sound it makes when the turbochargers kick in. Guess the entire thing is pretty impressive, eh?

Do yourself a favor and watch the entire video after the break, it's worth it.

Did ja hear the evil turbocharger whine?!! I just made a "mess" all over my keyboard.
This is a piece of art and it will grow on you over time just like the zonda did. I have a sneaky feeling Jay already put a down payment on that Huayra.

Only in America could someone like Leno end up with so much money he can buy one of every car in the world. Someone needs to look into what exactly he does for a living. If the Tonight Show pays that well something is wrong. Well, we already know something is wrong with the world. I've yet to watch past the first 5 minutes of one of his shows or laugh at anything other than Jay Walking.
Surprising too in this age of hate the rich he's managed to keep this every man working class guy image because he wears a denim shirt and stands around a garage.

I doesn't have to do with Jay Leno is particular. Autoblog puts up anything car related they can find. If you had a video of a Huayra with Horatio Pagini I'm sure they'd put your video on AutoBlog as well.

My guess is that it might have been a test-car or something like that that had manufacturer's plates and maybe only employees of Pagani could drive it.
Leno clearly said that he will get a chance to drive it in the near future, so its probably more of an insurance/registration type of issue for now.

Finally got to see the video and this car is just amazing.... just absolutely, unbelievably amazing.
Sure, its not the "prettiest" cars out there, but the details, the craftsmanship is just breathe-taking. And that interior! Holy crap I love the look of it in tan - its got such a crazy steam-punk, retro-futuristic vibe to it. Just gorgeous.
